Here is another idea for a FB page. Once you click on the website below, click on the Facebook template (first link) and the Facebook instructions (2nd link) for the FB pages. These links are both on the left side of the page.
Using the ideas on any of these FB pages, use characters from your novel to create your own FaceBook page. Use dialogue that represents what the characters would actually say. Show understanding of the events in the story through your dialogue. Add 'friends', create a wall, and have fun with this assignment.
Embed the code from your FaceBook page onto your reading page on the WIKI.
Due date: Friday, March 23
(If you have two books, choose one with which to do this assignment).
Individual Assignment #1 (As you add more individual assignments, put each new assignment ABOVE the previous one. Add a horizontal line between the assignments).
Create a new WIKI page using your initials and the name of your novel(s) as the title. Link it to your main page.
As you read your story, pay attention to the following:
Name the major character(s). Name the minor character(s). In what ways do the minor character(s) affect the main character(s)?
What decision(s) has a character made that you totally disagree with. Tell why you disagree with it.
How does this story change your thinking?
Write your ideas on your WIKI page. This should be an ongoing assignment throughout the week. As you read more chapters, add more information.
Your insights can be written using bullet points, using short sentences, or writing paragraphs - your choice.
Due date: Friday, March 9
1. Major Characters -Liesel Meminger -Death -Mrs. Hubermann -Mr. Hubermann -Rudy Stein Minor Characters -Werner(affects Liesel because he is her brother and he dies. Deaths of loved ones always have big effects) -Liesel's Mama (affects Liesel because that is her mom, and mom's are a big part of their children's lives) -Sister Maria (affects Liesel because she is her teacher in school and always yells at her for misbehaving) -Hans Junior (Hubermanns son; affects Liesel by coming to visit her and the Hubermanns every special occasion) -Trudy (Hubermanns daughter; affects Liesel by coming to visit her and the Hubermanns every special occasion)
2. I disagree with the decision of sending Liesel and Werner away to live with foster parents instead of their real mom. I disagree because I think that in this extremely scary time it is important to have your mom with you to help comfort you and just be there for you. You cannot have the same relationship with foster parents as you do with your mom. That is why I disagree with that decision in the story.
3. This story really changes my thinking. It makes me think more about how someone feels when they are dead because the narrator in this story is death. It also makes me think more about what it was like back in these awful days. How terrible must it have been if you had to steal books! That is how this story changes my thinking.
We can't relate to stealing books since we take them for granted. They are all around us!
